Children Map the World: Selections from the Barbara Petchenik Children's World Map Competition (Commemorating the International Map Year) presents one hundred maps created by children ages 3 to 15 for the 2015 International Cartographic Association map design competition. 

From Esri Press: “Children Map the World: Commemorating the International Map Year” celebrates the cartographic works of children worldwide. The first part includes entries to the biennial Barbara Petchenik Children’s World Map Competition in 2015, which characterize the perceptions and solutions used by children as they consider “My place in today's world”. The second part is a selection of drawings submitted to previous competitions and organized as an atlas created by children.
"We have been involved with the ICA for many years and are pleased to continue our support of its efforts in promoting the Barbara Petchenik Children's World Map Competition," said ESRI president Jack Dangermond. "The creative ability expressed by the young contributors to this book is truly amazing. I was particularly struck by the recurring theme of universal cooperation in their mapmaking efforts and sincerely hope that their view portends our future."

This book follows the popular first three volumes of Children Map the World, which ESRI Press published in 2005, 2009 and 2015. The ICA created the competition in 1993 as a memorial for Barbara Bartz Petchenik, a cartographer who studied how children comprehend maps. Since that time, thousands of children have participated in the biennial competitions.
